-Give StanA StarFoundationChorus:
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.
(chorus)
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.
(chorus)
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.
(chorus)
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away.
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again.
(chorus)

The Historical Story of Finding the Holy Grail of Exploration, the Northwest Passage
The search for a sea route across the top of the world linking Europe to Asia - the fabled Northwest Passage - was one of the most difficult and dangerous in the history of exploration. 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of Roald Amundsen's discovery of the elusive route. The original 1845 expedition led by Sir John Franklin resulted in Franklin and his entire team of 128 men disappearing whilst searching for the passage. What happened to Franklin's expedition is one of the Arctic's most enduring mysteries, Was the expedition poisoned by its own supplies? Did some members of the expedition commit cannibalism or were they killed by the local Inuit? It wasn't until 1903, that an expedition finally found a way through which was lead by Roald Amundsen. His success owed much to the experience of those who had gone before him. But unlike them, he also understood that to survive in such conditions, he had to learn from the native Inuit. The skills Amundsen learnt in the Arctic would later pave the way for his successful assault on the South Pole. The two-part series concentrates on these two famous expeditions. The stories are told using dramatic reconstructions, CGI and documentary techniques. New information sheds light on what happened to Franklin's expedition and also shows how Amundsen was able to succeed when so many before had failed. Documentary first broadcast in 2005.

In 1845, Great Britain mounted an all-out assault with a lavishly equipped expedition that was never heard from again. Then in the early 1900s, a little-known Norwegian adventurer set forth in a secondhand fishing boat and succeeded beyond all expectation. This two-hour special answers the riddle of why one failed and the other made it.
Hour one provides new details on the Franklin expedition, whose fate was one of the great mysteries of the 19th century. Even today, the manner of the expedition's demise is an ongoing detective story, with clues and new interpretations still emerging over 150 years after the explorers inexplicably disappeared. Hour two tells how Roald Amundsen rewrote the book on Arctic exploration by stressing simplicity and adaptability, and in the process completed the first crossing of the Northwest Passage exactly 100 years ago. (To follow the paths of both expeditions, see Tracing the Routes.)
For centuries, explorers were convinced that a route could be found through the islands and ice floes of northern Canada that would cut months off the arduous sea voyage between Europe and the Pacific. But every time someone tried, ice blocked the way. Determined to succeed, the British Navy refitted two warships and assigned its most experienced Arctic explorer, Sir John Franklin, to command. The vessels were stocked with every convenience and a three-year supply of food, much of it canned—a relatively new technology.
DepartingEngland in 1845, the 129 men seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth. In 1848, the Navy dispatched the first of many search parties, which eventually found the site of Franklin's first wintering camp on Beechey Island in the High Arctic, including the graves of three seamen. Modern tests show that the sailors died of tuberculosis but were also suffering from lead poisoning, probably caused by the solder used to seal their tinned food. The finding suggests that the entire crew may have been affected to varying degrees by excessive lead, which causes fatigue, confusion, and paranoia.
Over the years, more searching has turned up a strange collection of further clues (see, for one of the most telling, The Note in the Cairn). These point to an expedition trapped in the ice, slowly dying off, desperately devising strategies to escape, and finally resorting to cannibalism. Ironically, as Franklin's men were perishing, they had periodic contact with native Inuit, who subsisted quite well in the High Arctic thanks to their small numbers and highly evolved hunting and survival skills. There is no evidence that the Franklin party adopted any Inuit methods.
This lesson was not lost on Roald Amundsen, a young Norwegian whose study of the Franklin disaster led him to an entirely different approach. Instead of treating Arctic exploration as a siege, in which a fully modern world is transported en masse to an unforgiving place, Amundsen determined to travel light and live like the Inuit as much as possible (see My Life as an Explorer).
Where the Franklin expedition comprised over 100 men, Amundsen's consisted of only seven; where Franklin commanded deep-water ships, Amundsen piloted a battered, 30-year-old sealer that had proven its worth at moving nimbly though shallows and ice floes; where Franklin's men dragged a provision-filled lifeboat across the snow when they had to go overland, Amundsen used an Inuit-style sled and dogs.
Success came in August 1905, after two years battling the ice and weather, when Amundsen encountered a whaling ship sailing from San Francisco. (He overwintered once more before completing the Passage in 1906.) Amundsen had proven that a path, albeit a difficult one, existed across the top of the world—for anyone bold enough to take it.

Spencer Tracy and a stellar supporting cast grab muskets, gun powder and knives, and head out for adventure in Northwest Passage, a lavish Technicolor® retelling of French and Indian War heroics. Based on KennethRobert's best-seller, Tracy plays true-life explorer Major Robert Rogers, the intrepid leader of the celebrated Rogers' Rangers fighting force that took on one of the most challenging expeditions in military history. Tracy's portrayal brilliantly captures the American pioneering spirit, but he had to muster up his own will to carry it off. "It isn't exactly fun to work in bitter cold and be sloshing through mud all day," he said. For twelve grueling weeks of location shooting, he endured traipsing through swamps, crossing rapids and climbing mountains. Of this rousing epic (released shortly after Gone with the Wind), The New York Times wrote, "Now that the 'Wind' has stopped ruffling your hair, you can have it lifted, scalp and all, in Northwest Passage."

Of this rousing epic (released shortly after Gone with the Wind), The New York Times wrote, "Now that the 'Wind' has stopped ruffling your hair, you can have it lifted, scalp and all, in Northwest Passage."

Sought by explorers for centuries as a possible trade route, it was discovered in 1850 by Robert McClure and first navigated by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen with a small expedition in 1903–1906. Until 2009, the Arctic pack ice prevented regular marine shipping throughout most of the year. Changes in the pack ice (Arctic shrinkage) has rendered the waterways more navigable.

The contested sovereignty claims over the waters may complicate future shipping through the region: the Canadian government considers the Northwestern Passages part of Canadian Internal Waters, but the United States and various European countries maintain they are an international strait and transit passage, allowing free and unencumbered passage. If, as has been claimed, parts of the eastern end of the Passage are barely 15 metres (49ft) deep, the route's viability as a Euro-Asian shipping route is reduced.

Early life and musical development

Rogers was born in Hamilton, Ontario the eldest son of Nathan Allison "Al" and Valerie Rogers (née Bushell), two Maritimers who had relocated to Ontario in search of work shortly after their marriage in July 1948. Although Rogers was raised in Woodburn, Ontario (a community in the easternmost part of Hamilton), he often spent summers visiting family in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. It was there that he became familiar with the way of life in the Maritimes, an influence which was to have a profound impact on his subsequent musical development. He was interested in music from an early age, reportedly beginning to sing shortly after learning to speak. He received his first guitar, hand-built by his uncle Lee Bushell, when he was five years of age. He was exposed to a variety of music influences, but among the most lasting were the country and western tunes his uncles would sing during family get-togethers. Throughout his childhood, he would practice his singing and playing along with his brother Garnet, six years his junior.

Cardinal direction

The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, east, south, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, E, S, W. East and west are at right angles to north and south, with east being in the clockwise direction of rotation from north and west being directly opposite east. Intermediate points between the four cardinal directions form the points of the compass. The intermediate (intercardinal, or ordinal) directions are northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). Further, the intermediate direction of every set of intercardinal and cardinal direction is called a secondary-intercardinal direction, the eight shortest points in the compass rose to the right, i.e. NNE, ENE, ESE, and so on.

Locating the directions

Direction versus bearing

To keep to a bearing is not, in general, the same as going in a straight direction along a great circle. Conversely, one can keep to a great circle and the bearing may change. Thus the bearing of a straight path crossing the North Pole changes abruptly at the Pole from North to South. When travelling East or West, it is only on the Equator that one can keep East or West and be going straight (without need to steer). Anywhere else, maintaining latitude requires a change in direction, requires steering. However, this change in direction becomes increasingly negligible as one moves to lower latitudes.

Early life

Amundsen was born to a family of Norwegian shipowners and captains in Borge, between the towns Fredrikstad and Sarpsborg. His parents were Jens Amundsen and Hanna Sahlqvist. Roald was the fourth son in the family. His mother wanted him to avoid the family maritime trade and encouraged him to become a doctor, a promise that Amundsen kept until his mother died when he was aged 21. He promptly quit university for a life at sea.

Northwest Passage

Major Robert Rogers organized "Rogers Rangers" to search for the alleged waterway across the United States during the French and Indian War (1754-1759). Helping Rogers, an experienced explorer and Indian fighter, were Hunk Marriner, another experienced Indian fighter, and Langdon Towne, a Harvard graduate who was the map maker. The episodes told the story of their trials and tribulations searching for the Northwest Passage and their battles with both the French and Indians during this war.

Stan Rogers was a great singer/songwriter who touched the elusive spirit of Canada. He was larger than life. Before dying in a tragic accident at the age of 33, Stan Rogers was already well on his way to becoming a national icon. Born in Ontario, Rogers' mother was from Nova Scotia and much of his music was influenced by his summers there. This lyrical portrait captures the man a...

-Give StanA StarFoundationChorus:
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.
(chorus)
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.
(chorus)
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.
(chorus)
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away.
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again.
(chorus)

The Search For The Northwest Passage - Part 1 of 2 (Exploration Documentary) | Timeline

The Historical Story of Finding the Holy Grail of Exploration, the Northwest Passage
The search for a sea route across the top of the world linking Europe to Asia - the fabled Northwest Passage - was one of the most difficult and dangerous in the history of exploration. 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of Roald Amundsen's discovery of the elusive route. The original 1845 expedition led by Sir John Franklin resulted in Franklin and his entire team of 128 men disappearing whilst searching for the passage. What happened to Franklin's expedition is one of the Arctic's most enduring mysteries, Was the expedition poisoned by its own supplies? Did some members of the expedition commit cannibalism or were they killed by the local Inuit? It wasn't until 1903, that an expedition finally found a way through which was lead by Roald Amundsen. His success owed much to the experience of those who had gone before him. But unlike them, he also understood that to survive in such conditions, he had to learn from the native Inuit. The skills Amundsen learnt in the Arctic would later pave the way for his successful assault on the South Pole. The two-part series concentrates on these two famous expeditions. The stories are told using dramatic reconstructions, CGI and documentary techniques. New information sheds light on what happened to Franklin's expedition and also shows how Amundsen was able to succeed when so many before had failed. Documentary first broadcast in 2005.

For full Everest and other mountaineering documentaries, see my playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEq-_K2Ii0oGkxhq49Wl_gKI8fwHg-JVR The greatest geographical prize of its day was the search for the fabled Northwest Passage through the island maze of Arctic Canada. In 1845, Great Britain mounted an all-out assault with a lavishly equipped expedition that was never heard from again. Then in the early 1900s, a little-known Norwegian adventurer set forth in a secondhand fishing boat and succeeded beyond all expectation. This two-hour special answers the riddle of why one failed and the other made it.
Hour one provides new details on the Franklin expedition, whose fate was one of the great mysteries of the 19th century. Even today, the manner of the expedition's demise is an ongoing detective story, with clues and new interpretations still emerging over 150 years after the explorers inexplicably disappeared. Hour two tells how Roald Amundsen rewrote the book on Arctic exploration by stressing simplicity and adaptability, and in the process completed the first crossing of the Northwest Passage exactly 100 years ago. (To follow the paths of both expeditions, see Tracing the Routes.)
For centuries, explorers were convinced that a route could be found through the islands and ice floes of northern Canada that would cut months off the arduous sea voyage between Europe and the Pacific. But every time someone tried, ice blocked the way. Determined to succeed, the British Navy refitted two warships and assigned its most experienced Arctic explorer, Sir John Franklin, to command. The vessels were stocked with every convenience and a three-year supply of food, much of it canned—a relatively new technology.
DepartingEngland in 1845, the 129 men seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth. In 1848, the Navy dispatched the first of many search parties, which eventually found the site of Franklin's first wintering camp on Beechey Island in the High Arctic, including the graves of three seamen. Modern tests show that the sailors died of tuberculosis but were also suffering from lead poisoning, probably caused by the solder used to seal their tinned food. The finding suggests that the entire crew may have been affected to varying degrees by excessive lead, which causes fatigue, confusion, and paranoia.
Over the years, more searching has turned up a strange collection of further clues (see, for one of the most telling, The Note in the Cairn). These point to an expedition trapped in the ice, slowly dying off, desperately devising strategies to escape, and finally resorting to cannibalism. Ironically, as Franklin's men were perishing, they had periodic contact with native Inuit, who subsisted quite well in the High Arctic thanks to their small numbers and highly evolved hunting and survival skills. There is no evidence that the Franklin party adopted any Inuit methods.
This lesson was not lost on Roald Amundsen, a young Norwegian whose study of the Franklin disaster led him to an entirely different approach. Instead of treating Arctic exploration as a siege, in which a fully modern world is transported en masse to an unforgiving place, Amundsen determined to travel light and live like the Inuit as much as possible (see My Life as an Explorer).
Where the Franklin expedition comprised over 100 men, Amundsen's consisted of only seven; where Franklin commanded deep-water ships, Amundsen piloted a battered, 30-year-old sealer that had proven its worth at moving nimbly though shallows and ice floes; where Franklin's men dragged a provision-filled lifeboat across the snow when they had to go overland, Amundsen used an Inuit-style sled and dogs.
Success came in August 1905, after two years battling the ice and weather, when Amundsen encountered a whaling ship sailing from San Francisco. (He overwintered once more before completing the Passage in 1906.) Amundsen had proven that a path, albeit a difficult one, existed across the top of the world—for anyone bold enough to take it.

Spencer Tracy and a stellar supporting cast grab muskets, gun powder and knives, and head out for adventure in Northwest Passage, a lavish Technicolor® retelling of French and Indian War heroics. Based on KennethRobert's best-seller, Tracy plays true-life explorer Major Robert Rogers, the intrepid leader of the celebrated Rogers' Rangers fighting force that took on one of the most challenging expeditions in military history. Tracy's portrayal brilliantly captures the American pioneering spirit, but he had to muster up his own will to carry it off. "It isn't exactly fun to work in bitter cold and be sloshing through mud all day," he said. For twelve grueling weeks of location shooting, he endured traipsing through swamps, crossing rapids and climbing mountains. Of this rousing epic (released shortly after Gone with the Wind), The New York Times wrote, "Now that the 'Wind' has stopped ruffling your hair, you can have it lifted, scalp and all, in Northwest Passage."

Nathan Rogers - Northwest Passage (acoustic)

Northwest Passage:

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mount...

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away.
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again.

The Search For The Northwest Passage - Part 1 of 2 (Exploration Documentary) | Timeline

The Historical Story of Finding the Holy Grail of Exploration, the Northwest Passage
The search for a sea route across the top of the world linking Europe to Asia - the fabled Northwest Passage - was one of the most difficult and dangerous in the history of exploration. 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of Roald Amundsen's discovery of the elusive route. The original 1845 expedition led by Sir John Franklin resulted in Franklin and his entire team of 128 men disappearing whilst searching for the passage. What happened to Franklin's expedition is one of the Arctic's most enduring mysteries, Was the expedition poisoned by its own supplies? Did some members of the expedition commit cannibalism or were they killed by the local Inuit? It wasn't until 1903, that an expedition finally found a way through which was lead by Roald Amundsen. His success owed much to the experience of those who had gone before him. But unlike them, he also understood that to survive in such conditions, he had to learn from the native Inuit. The skills Amundsen learnt in the Arctic would later pave the way for his successful assault on the South Pole. The two-part series concentrates on these two famous expeditions. The stories are told using dramatic reconstructions, CGI and documentary techniques. New information sheds light on what happened to Franklin's expedition and also shows how Amundsen was able to succeed when so many before had failed. Documentary first broadcast in 2005.

For full Everest and other mountaineering documentaries, see my playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEq-_K2Ii0oGkxhq49Wl_gKI8fwHg-JVR The greatest geographical prize of its day was the search for the fabled Northwest Passage through the island maze of Arctic Canada. In 1845, Great Britain mounted an all-out assault with a lavishly equipped expedition that was never heard from again. Then in the early 1900s, a little-known Norwegian adventurer set forth in a secondhand fishing boat and succeeded beyond all expectation. This two-hour special answers the riddle of why one failed and the other made it.
Hour one provides new details on the Franklin expedition, whose fate was one of the great mysteries of the 19th century. Even today, the manner of the expedition's demise is an ongoing detective story, with clues and new interpretations still emerging over 150 years after the explorers inexplicably disappeared. Hour two tells how Roald Amundsen rewrote the book on Arctic exploration by stressing simplicity and adaptability, and in the process completed the first crossing of the Northwest Passage exactly 100 years ago. (To follow the paths of both expeditions, see Tracing the Routes.)
For centuries, explorers were convinced that a route could be found through the islands and ice floes of northern Canada that would cut months off the arduous sea voyage between Europe and the Pacific. But every time someone tried, ice blocked the way. Determined to succeed, the British Navy refitted two warships and assigned its most experienced Arctic explorer, Sir John Franklin, to command. The vessels were stocked with every convenience and a three-year supply of food, much of it canned—a relatively new technology.
DepartingEngland in 1845, the 129 men seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth. In 1848, the Navy dispatched the first of many search parties, which eventually found the site of Franklin's first wintering camp on Beechey Island in the High Arctic, including the graves of three seamen. Modern tests show that the sailors died of tuberculosis but were also suffering from lead poisoning, probably caused by the solder used to seal their tinned food. The finding suggests that the entire crew may have been affected to varying degrees by excessive lead, which causes fatigue, confusion, and paranoia.
Over the years, more searching has turned up a strange collection of further clues (see, for one of the most telling, The Note in the Cairn). These point to an expedition trapped in the ice, slowly dying off, desperately devising strategies to escape, and finally resorting to cannibalism. Ironically, as Franklin's men were perishing, they had periodic contact with native Inuit, who subsisted quite well in the High Arctic thanks to their small numbers and highly evolved hunting and survival skills. There is no evidence that the Franklin party adopted any Inuit methods.
This lesson was not lost on Roald Amundsen, a young Norwegian whose study of the Franklin disaster led him to an entirely different approach. Instead of treating Arctic exploration as a siege, in which a fully modern world is transported en masse to an unforgiving place, Amundsen determined to travel light and live like the Inuit as much as possible (see My Life as an Explorer).
Where the Franklin expedition comprised over 100 men, Amundsen's consisted of only seven; where Franklin commanded deep-water ships, Amundsen piloted a battered, 30-year-old sealer that had proven its worth at moving nimbly though shallows and ice floes; where Franklin's men dragged a provision-filled lifeboat across the snow when they had to go overland, Amundsen used an Inuit-style sled and dogs.
Success came in August 1905, after two years battling the ice and weather, when Amundsen encountered a whaling ship sailing from San Francisco. (He overwintered once more before completing the Passage in 1906.) Amundsen had proven that a path, albeit a difficult one, existed across the top of the world—for anyone bold enough to take it.

Northwest Passage (Preview Clip)

Spencer Tracy and a stellar supporting cast grab muskets, gun powder and knives, and head out for adventure in Northwest Passage, a lavish Technicolor® retelling of French and Indian War heroics. Based on KennethRobert's best-seller, Tracy plays true-life explorer Major Robert Rogers, the intrepid leader of the celebrated Rogers' Rangers fighting force that took on one of the most challenging expeditions in military history. Tracy's portrayal brilliantly captures the American pioneering spirit, but he had to muster up his own will to carry it off. "It isn't exactly fun to work in bitter cold and be sloshing through mud all day," he said. For twelve grueling weeks of location shooting, he endured traipsing through swamps, crossing rapids and climbing mountains. Of this rousing epic (released shortly after Gone with the Wind), The New York Times wrote, "Now that the 'Wind' has stopped ruffling your hair, you can have it lifted, scalp and all, in Northwest Passage."
